MPH Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Decent first half. It feels like we can turn the screw a bit more too. Got another couple of gears we can go up. Everton’s position in the league is exactly where it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanchflower78 Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 They will be better second half you'd expect, too much riding on it not to be. Agree, the possession became to predictable and they grew in to game. Next goal huge here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts us into dangerous positions whereas we used to have the trust that he'd play himself out of it with confidence. The man has played ever single match this season practically including 2 a week for about the past month. He's got to be mentally checked out and needs a break. He will not suddenly come to life in the 2nd half - more likely the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 We do miss Vardy. Nacho just doesn't carry the same threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season perhaps he isn't mentally at the races, but he's been like this before; in his first full season at the club for example. I think it says a lot that he's getting linked to Arsenal and Spurs instead of Man City / Liverpool / Real Madrid. On his day he's good enough to play for anyone, but realistically he's probably a top 4 / 6 player, but not better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any issue with the tactic as it allows the wing back to get forward. Tielemans virtually plays as a DM but a play making one, as opposed to Mendy who's more of a safe bet... And that would then create space for one of your other attackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webbo Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Some scintillating football that half, I just worry that the passing about at the back is so easy we get sloppy. Kaspers distribution, which is often criticised has been spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works harder and gets shots away if nothing else. Wow, really???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Good start but I’m still not convinced by this system. We lack an outlet and runners in behind which means if we don’t get our passing perfect we just end up inviting pressure. KDH or Tielemans off, Lookman on and move Maddison to be a number 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RumbleFox Posted 20 April 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 20 April 2022 (edited) We’re winning here but we could very well be losing, or drawing, or winning by a bigger margin. So because all of those things both scare and frustrate me I feel my safest bet is to just slag everyone off…… So fvck you, you spineless windwangers you should be winning well you are winning but you should be winning by more because actually you should be losing. Or drawing. Edited 20 April 2022 by RumbleFox 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadno'r Cymoedd Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 The lack of a real attacking intent is a reflection of Rodgers. Great start then it's back to being timid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 20 April 2022 Share Posted 20 April 2022 Genuinely don't understand what the point in Tielemans is. For a month now i've watch him encourage backwards passes from other players or doing them himself. He takes any sting out of an attack and we just let the opposition reset. It's no wonder our forwards look so ineffectual when the only time they recieve the ball is when the other team have 10 men in their box. Loosen the shackles Brendan, christ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
